Here's a pic I took in the early '60s with my little Ricoh 35mm rangefinder. If only I'd realized how significant the construction of the Opera House was, I would have taken many more pics. But it was film, and I suppose I was conscious of the cost of development - something you don't have to consider with digital these days.
